Michael Myers and Mary Poppins returned, entertainment famine and brain cell death in the wake of the Infinity War despite record breaking war bonds sold, and the caps lock was turned on when writing on the whiteboard. Let’s all be frank about the good movies from 2018.

A24 batted a thousand, but Neon is hot on their heels. Also: Edgar Wright rights his past wrongs with substance and superhero movies finally become good thanks to Amazonian golden bondage play. For All the Daddy's Love in the World.

Every film to feature Buddy Holly and the Crickets' "Everyday." Played simultaneously with the song, the respective clips from each film only appear during the moment of the song as it is used in each film. We see the common usage of the song is juxtaposition. Holly's song has come to represent comfort, happiness, nostalgia, etc. Its use to during scenes of Halloween and sinister acts such as baking drugs into a cake is for irony, recalling similar soundtrack incorporations in the work of Anger or Scorsese. A few of the film's utilize it for an instant indicator of love. But even then, these are off-kilter romances, "Everyday" gives them a nostalgic romantic vibe easily recognizable in the viewer.

The song's use in Earth to Echo is arguably the most interesting of the lot. It only takes from the song's instrumental break. Perhaps this is to some sort of magical effect as the song gets processed through some filters in its use, romance nor nostalgia is being evoked and the lack of the recognizable lyrics means its use is not for irony.

Only a few films use the whole song: Mischief, The Locusts, and We Need to Talk About Kevin. The only one of these three to use it non-diegetically is Kevin.
